Our Story
Our Story
Our story is more of a passion.
Nicolette’s passion to teach adults to express themselves and a strong belief "there are no such thing as coincidences".
“Nothing is better than watching that “ah-ha” moment happen when an adult learns something new”~Nic
We all have art in our hearts. It is our honor to help individuals pull it out and share it with the world.
With the incredible support of some equally tenacious individuals Back40Tattoo Academy went from a dream to reality.
A drive to do things different, the deep desire to set a better standard for an artist coming into an ancient industry.
We are graciously humble to be a part of your next chapter.
